So I've been dating this woman(im indian M she's white German if that's important) for a couple months. Things are sailing smoothly for the most part and I think she's wonderful.
Except some of the stuff she does sometimes feels a bit ,,,derisive..? I guess. At the expense of my origins , is what I'm trying to say.
Like the other day I told her about buying something for this upcoming Hindu festival and she drawled in what was a very subpar attempt at an accent "Are you trying to say " I BAWT A SHART" ".
Now. I don't think she means any harm and I can take most jokes with the utmost good humour.
So I half seriously Pretended to be offended and said "hey I don't sound like that".
Indeed I don't. I took speech pathology lessons in my uni in the Netherlands to lose my accent and my accent is pretty neutral I'd say.
But she replied "yeah but your people do". And began to laugh expecting me to join in. That bothered me somewhat.
There's other things like in the beginning when we're dating she said and I'm paraphrasing " you're pretty good looking. It's hard believing you're indian ." (yeah that one kinda took me unawares ). Tbf I had ribbed her a good deal with innocuous German jokes by then so maybe I can let this one slide...idk.
How do I let her know that I think she might be harboring some unexamined prejudices? I don't wanna make her think she's a bad person.
